Heredity

A synonym for a trait

Complete set of genetic instructions for making the entire organism

Base pairs that are used to make up the genetic codes or combinations of genes

DNA that is folded up so that it fits into the nucleus

Builds the protein

A physical description or characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring. Ex: eye color, hair color, etc

All the recipe books in the house

Where DNA is stored in Eukaryotic cells

A long molecule that contains the genetic code of each organism and holds instructions for making all the proteins

One recipe in the recipe book (makes the proteins)

Organizes all the recipes in a recipe book together (the binder)

Shorter segments of DNA that contain specific instructions for a trait

Total number of chromosomes in the cells of humans

A single recipe book

Give cells structure, shape, specific processes, involved in the expressions of traits, and are the building blocks of traits

The study of genetics and how traits are passed on to the next generation of organisms (kids)
